Great Opportunities for Growth

Pros

Work Environment - I've been able to develop strong relationships with nearly every team member I've worked with during my time at Dedham, and found many mentors & close friends throughout the process. I have always found that team members & managers are intelligent & respect each others ideas regardless of position or tenure (very few "egos"), leading to collaborative and open discussions on all of my projects. It also helps that I enjoy spending time with my coworkers (I am still close with many that have left). The hours can be long but I agree with a previous post, what you put in really is what you get out. Professional Development Opportunities - There are very, very few places that would have enabled me to develop as quickly as I have at Dedham. I do honestly believe that it is a meritocracy, and additional responsibilities and growth opportunities are always available for the taking. Whenever I achieve some level of comfort in my day-to-day role, it is not long before I am taking on new responsibilities and challenged to learn new skills. It has been a lot of work, but the continued investment & support from upper management has matched my effort. It is an excellent place to grow. Projects & Exposure - The project work is very interesting. If you read anything about the specialty therapeutics space, the projects span many of the exciting market dynamics and products that are being reported on. Most of my exposure to clients has been collaborative in nature, which I find fulfilling. The recent focus on further developing the company's infrastructure (mentor program, building out management team, etc.) has been a big step forward.

Cons

As mentioned above, there is great opportunity for professional development, but it takes a lot of effort & time. There may be times when you have to actively seek out advice & guidance. The work across projects can be demanding. Some of this is also part of the growing pains for a relatively small firm. (It's also consulting, so the hours can be long regardless). There are pros of larger companies (name recognition, an official incoming analyst "class", etc.) that you won't find

Pros

The Dedham Group is a collaborative atmosphere where you will be exposed to brilliant and hard-working peers and learn directly from the partners who are experts in the field. Because we are a small (but growing!) company, your performance and personal growth is extremely visible and rewards are entirely meritocracy based with custom feedback on your strengths and weaknesses that are truly actionable upon your next review cycle. Projects are intellectually stimulating, with exposure to top pharmaceutical companies and the opportunity to work on cutting-edge products (CAR-T, gene therapy, novel MOA launches, etc.) and emerging themes in life sciences (value based care, pathways, pricing scrutiny, etc.). Even at the analyst level, you will have exposure to client management with top executives. At The Dedham Group, you will have the rare opportunity to "specialize" in a particular project area in which you have built expertise, yet due to the breadth of our projects, you will also always have exposure to new therapeutic areas or project types which leads to limited "boredom". Because of the density of our projects, you are always learning something new. The experience you gain in 1-2 years here is immeasurable and will undoubtedly prepare you for your next steps in a life sciences career. You will also make great network connections through our clients as well as lifelong friends through your coworkers.

Cons

Limited company awareness (your peers outside of life sciences will probably have never heard of TDG) & extremely high standards which can result in stress during final deliverable development.

Pros

- Great people & culture I have nothing but great things to say about my colleagues during my tenure at TDG. Projects are tackled by teams of between 2-4 employees, and having the chance to sit in rooms and brainstorm questions was honestly a tremendous privilege for me. Everyone at TDG is happy to help with a dataset or a presentation they'd done - it's a very positive culture where the rising tide raises all ships. - Very interesting work / consistently challenging projects If you are at all interested in specialty therapeutics and/or oncology therapeutics, TDG is a great option. Given that there are so many different steps to securing market access, I found that the job was never stale as there was always something to learn & better understand. - Approachable & very reasonable management From day one for me, I found the leadership of TDG to be hugely receptive to my preferences / considerations. During my tenure, I encountered certain challenges in my personal life, and TDG worked with me to ensure there was adequate flexibility to address everything. I am hugely grateful for this position from management and I believe it is a testament to their willingness to listen and work with their employees to ensure a good work / life balance is preserved. - Ample opportunity for rapid growth / valued interactions with clients In my experience, TDG is rare among comparable firms insofar as management keenly emphasizes meritocracy. Because projects are worked on closely with partners, there is leadership insight into team member performance. If one is dedicated to the job and excels, this will be recognized.

Cons

Consulting is difficult - many of the poor reviews reek of sour grapes. It is a challenging field of work, but if you are up for it and dedicate yourself to the job then it is hugely rewarding.
